RIVER SONG 9/1998 ISBN: 0821759914 It was supposed to be an easy con, but from the looks of the restless audience at the Flats, Illinois, Opera House, Anna Rose Connolly knows they've figured out that she's no famous singer. Then her manager has an inspiration: he tells them the "Mississippi Songbird" is blind, hoping to gain their sympathy. And his plan just might have worked, if Anna hadn't nearly drowned in the spellbinding gray eyes of a man in the front row. Philip Brichard knows the "Mississippi Songbird" is no more blind than he is--and he has no problem seeing her enchanting beauty. Amused by Anna's charade, but infuriated when she accuses him of wanting to turn her in, he's determined to forget he ever met her--until he finds her in his bedroom…and in terrible danger. Philip's not sure how it happened, but suddenly he and Anna are on the run together--following the river and the sultry passion that sizzles between them.
